Personalize jewelry even more with handmade beads designed by you These fun fabric beads can be as unique as you want them to be, and are a great solution for scrap pieces of fabric or paper. Make your looks truly one-of-a-kind with components like these. We'll show you how to take your fashion forward in these simple steps.
Find a sample of fabric you would like to work with. You can use any fabric that does not have a tendency to fray (or treat fabric with sealant before cutting the edges), or you can use paper. We made our beads with a batik fabric.
Cut out your desired number of pieces. You can either make oval-shaped or tube-shaped beads. For the oval-shaped beads, cut your pieces into triangles about 6 1/4 inches long that are 16mm wide at the widest part. For the tube-shaped beads, cut your pieces into rectangles as wide as you want the finished bead to be. (The length of fabric determines width of the bead.)
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
